Psalms Capítulo 13

These 150 prayers were used by the Hebrews to express their relationship with God. They cover the whole field of human emotions, from joy to hate, from hope to despair.

A Conservative Version

13 : 1 How long, O Jehovah? Will thou forget me forever? How long will thou hide thy face from me?

13 : 2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

13 : 3 Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God. Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death,

13 : 4 lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, lest my adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

13 : 5 But I have trusted in thy loving kindness. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

13 : 6 I will sing to Jehovah because he has dealt bountifully with me.
